The Secretary OF the Interior is taking
the first steps towards enforcing the
Dawes Severalty bill for the Indian tribes.
The measure takes all the reservations
but nine belonging to the most civilized
tribes, surveys them and requires the In.
dams to take up land in severalty. about
twice as much land being allotted to an
Indian family as white settler is allowed
to take up. The Indians are given four
years to make their selection; but as they
have almost uniformly declined in the
past to make use oflegislation giving them
land in severalty, they will probably do
the same under the present statute and the
power to allot land to each family will
have to be used. This is a sink or swim
measure for the Indian. as he will be left,
after a certain term, to do as he pleases
with his land, and if he pleases to do i'll,
he and his will become vagabonds as GER
tainly as white men do after like conduct.
But the time has come when there is moth
ing left but to pitch the Indian into the
stream of civilization and let him find his
level-at the bottom if he cannot swim, at
the top if he can keep afoat.

Although it is authoritively reported
that insanity in Maine Is decreasing yet
the statement seems to be emphatically con-
trad,cted by the large number OF suicides,
which have occurred since the beginning
OF the year and this contradiction remains
even after deducting from the number those
cases where others than insanity have OBJ
viously been the immediate causes. So
frequently have suicides occurred this year
that they have averaged nearly one a
week. Their frequency has even attracted
the attention of the press beyond the
State and called forth variety of COM
ments. But as alarming as the increase
may be, upon careful comparison it is
ascertained that the number pro rata to
the population of the State is not in excess
of that of other States. There is, how
ever, sufficient reason to regard this in
crease with anxiety and concern for if
there be no other unfavorable influence
upon society there is tendency to create
in no small measure. certain moral
decline which should be feared.

Not the least surprise is manifested by
members of either political party IN New
York at Governor Hills veto of the
Vedder bill. In the positions which he
has taken upon questions of temperance
reform there has been sufficient evidence
of his determination to champion the
cause of the whiskey ring. Governor
Hill has only done what in him lay to
prove his loyalty to the rum power, and
his contempt for the decent sentiment OF
the State. As we predicted, his reasons
for vetoinp this bill are frivolous and dis
ingenious He has placed not only him
self but also his party in very awkward
position and has done more to insure
democratic defeat in that State than could
have been done by the opposing party.

Pure Water.

The Augusta Water Company is now ready to fur
nsh water for dwelling houses stables lawns stores
hotels, for motive power or mechanical purposes
The luxury of having pure water In a bailding can
not be fully appreciated until its benefits have been
enjoyed. Statistics prove beyond dispute that Me
most impure water for general use lie obtained from
wells; and the next Objectionable is obtained from
cistern water collected from the roofs of buildings.
The wells fed by inftration of water which falls
the adjacent territory, which Is drained from
sewers, cess poels ETC., in the vicinity. Unfortu
naely, well water may be totally unfit for domestic
consumption. and yet be palstabe to drink-the very
presence of organic impurities giving an attractive
sparkle to the water. In many cities, wells which
have been the most popular have proved, on anayz.
ing the water, to be very dangerous the health Of
the community using them.
All applications for water should be made at the
office of the Company, 1877 Water Street, the old
location of the First National Bank.

DEAR CoMRADE: Please for
ward to my address two or three
copies of the ENQUIRER containing
the poem by William Clarke
Marshall, entitled "And Lead the
Peoples On"
1t is the grandest piece of
poetry (in my humble opinion)
that has been written in many
years. When | read it in my
prison cell it brought forth tears
of joy and of sorrow and stirred
my blood like a bugle's blast.

appetite, everything considered.
The ENQUIRER is doing valiant
service in the cause of despoiled
Humanity. May its sphere of
usefulness widen with its just de-
serts.
The prisoners are we'll and send
greetings.

TROUBLE in the Langford coal
mines originated during the past
week through the arbitrary action
of Pit Boss George Parks who but
recently was promoted to the po-
sition. He formerly was highly
respected by his fellow-workers'
but he apparently could not
stand the pressure oSbeing clothed
in little brief authority and be-
came cheap and small despot.
The miners refused to work with
him and the result was his dis
charge from the mine. AT last
accounts all was peaceful at Lang
ford.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Cardinal Gibbons says the Order is .
Splendid Affair.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. o.-The let
ter prepared by General Master
workman Powderly upon the atti-
tude of the Catholic church toward
the Knights of Labor, which has
been awaited with a great deal of
interest by members of the order
throughout the country, was COM
pleted tonight and will be pre-
sented to the general assembly
tomorrow.
Mr.. Powderly says among other
nice things that Cardinal Gibbons
said to him when he invited the
cardinal to read over the secret( y
work of the order, is the following:
"After what we have just learned
the present condition of the order
is to us an unmistakable indication
that the control of your organiza-
ton still rests with the conserva-
tive element, and that is a guaran-
tee that there will be no rash and
dangerous departures"
Mr.. Powderly says the cardinal
told him that Socialism takes a
defiant position beyond the pale
of the church and announces such
an extreme policy that one does
not need to hesitate a moment to
reach a conclusion as to its merits
and influence"
Mr.. Powderly says that the car
dinal told him also that the reason
the church would not excommuni-
cate the K. of L. was because 'it
would be dangerous to the reputa-
ton of the church in our demo
cratic country; that it would be
boaverIkss to compel tie odedi<nce OF
Catholic workingmen who would
regard it as false and iniquitous." "

COMPARE THEM.

The ENQUIRER does not deem il
necessary to give any considera'
bic amount of space to advising
the workingmeh of Denver as to
the proper course for them to
pursue in choosing from the nu-
merous and plentiful crop of can
didates for votes at the coming
election. That large number Of
workingmen have cut loose from
the decayed and rotting old par
ties was proven last spring when
the Union Labor Party without or
ganization or preconcerted action
cast I.s4o votes in the city of
Denver alone.
Seeing the grand beginning
made by the workingmen has set
the politicians scheming to head
off or break up the new move
ment. They have adopted in
many places the plan of organ
izing new party, into which it
is hoped they will gather enough
Of the labor voters to disrupt or
break up the party of united gen.
nine labor.
They have made this move in
Denver and have called their ma
chine with which they hope to
disrupt and scatter the labor
forces, the Peoples Party" But
the intelligent workingmen of
Arapahoe county can distinguish
the difference between DOODLE
labor and the gnuiae party of the
people-the Union Labor Party.
From top to bottom the latter
ticket bears the names of genuine
labor men whose records as intel
ligent workers in the cause of la
Dor reform will bear the closest
investigation.
Compare the men on the two
tickets and it will be seen that the
boodle-labor ticket may at the
outside contain the names of three
men who work for a living.

Behind the veil guarding

has passed a spirit as sweet
and pure as an angel. The
grave which holds her dear

share of true nobility.
Into eternal rest has been
borne a heart as kind, gen.

blest the world.
An ideal Mother, she
sought to teach her sons the
true meaning of exalted
manhood. At her knee
they learned the first lesson
of love for and belief in
human Brotherhood. /

nell in collusion with the head po-
lice thugs of New York, does not
matter. Certain it is that it was
the most damnably outrageous
and highhanded proceeding ever
recorded in the annals of police
brutality and terrorism.
The only excuse offered by the
thug who headed the charge of
the people is as told by the tele-
graph report:
Captain Reilly when asked
why he charged the meeting said
it was all a mistake; that some
one asked him to quell' a distur-
bance created by some unruly
persons in the crowd and that in
ordering about twenty of his men
to proceed to the meeting the en-
tire command (I5o of the police
were hidden in back street close

he could prevent had driven the

ing people. The murderous raid
on the people in Union Square
last Saturday night proves that it
was correct in its predictions.
The most significant circum-
stances in connection with the
whole affair is the utter and COM
plete silence of the Associated
Press on the outrage. Here was
meeting of 10000 people charg-
ed upon as in a battle by $50 po-
lice; men clubbed and beaten in
to insensibility; women trampled
underfoot; in short, here were the
elements for a 6rst-class sensation
in the daily press. 1t must be ev-

safe to hang the men in the Chi
